secrets

Call for submissions

'you don't have a self unless you have a secret, and we all have moments throughout our lives when we feel we're losing ourselves in our social group, or work or marriage, and it feels good to grab for a secret, or some subterfuge, to reassert our identity as somebody apart.' Dr Daniel M. Wegner

Encounters in partnership with the SABC and the Jan Vrijman Fund call for submissions for AFRICA SHORTS 2009

Following on the success of the first Africa Shorts workshop and productions launched at Encounters this year, Encounters, SABC and the Jan Vrijman Fund are running a 4-day storytelling and production workshop this year.

Goodness. That 'secret' quote has struck a chord with me. I think when you are writing something you need to keep it close rather than talking about it so you keep being interested in it. If it becomes more interesting to talk about it than to write it, you're in trouble.

But when you have a blog, you have no secrets.

Aw. The word verification is pigzll. I know what they mean.

It is a compelling quote Helen - isn't it?

Even with a blog, there's always the bit (of the story) you hold back on and don't tell - even in comments (ha!)

I worry about blog karma sometimes. But since you proposed 'the wishing well' scenario, I realise it can work both ways...
